FIR TREE LODGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Braintree local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FIR TREE LODGE sales from February 2003 and December 2016 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the February 2003 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the December 2016 sale, where it rises to 77% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 77% above the HPI.

What might FIR TREE LODGE be worth now?

FIR TREE LODGE might now be worth an estimated £1,025,236.

This is based on house price inflation of 25.3%, between December 2016 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Braintree local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 25.3% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for FIR TREE LODGE of £818,500 on 2nd December 2016. For the value to have increased from £818,500 to £1,025,236 over the eight years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of FIR TREE LODGE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Braintree local authority area.
• The December 2016 sale price of £818,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of FIR TREE LODGE has not materially changed since December 2016.
